Nursing at CMMF

About Us

Nursing Services at Central Maine Medical Family is a community of professionals working together in a regional healthcare system that strives to provide evidence-based standards and consistency in patient care. There are approximately 700 RN's and 300 Certified Nurses Aides in the system regionally. Over 30% of our staff have two or three decades or more of seniority, an invaluable component of our dedicated, committed, professional team. There is a palpable pride as you walk the halls, seeing staff addressing each other with friendly "hellos," as we are often each other's neighbors.

Many of our nurses are nationally certified in specialty areas and hold a variety of educational degrees (AD, BSN, MSN, MHA, PhD, CRNA, CNM, NP). We care for patients across many care settings, throughout the age spectrum; we are involved in all aspects of clinical decision-making regardless of location of nursing practice. We embrace a professional practice model that supports a commitment to leadership, best practice, engaged staff empowerment and outstanding patient care outcomes.

Our nursing service departments all plan for the provision of patient care by delineating the scope of services offered, populations served, staffing/skill mix available, accuracy in assignments, acuity of patients, level of care, nurse-to-patient ratios and competencies in all departments. Clinical policies and procedures are developed from evidence-based practice and research. We measure nursing practice with performance improvement evaluations from organization requirements, unit-specific and population-specific standards.
